Can Casual Sex Encounters Turn into a Serious Relationship?-1.jpg

Here is a familiar scenario: A girl gets drunk and goes home with a guy she just met at a club. They have sex and the next day, when she wakes up, the guy doesn't seem to look like what she thought she saw the night before. But then, she felt a connection with him. The girl would think of this man she is in a relationship with as tall, dark and handsome, although he may only stand 5'5" and have a persistent acne problem. As the relationship continues, you move on to fulfilling each other's ideals. So, he is also cultured, well-read, kind, and has a strong sense of morals. But then again, there will always come a time when, after a few years, or for some months or days after, the girl will already start noticing how often late the man is, or how many pockmarks the guy has on his face. Instead of ignoring those flaws like in the romantic stage, the tendency would be is to try to change the man to fit the ideal (take note that this scenario also happens to women).

How to work on a relationship that started with casual sex

To get over this rut in the transition between a romantic relationship and a working relationship based on true love, three things have to be present: respect, appreciation, and gratitude. For respect to be present, avoid talking about past issues, unless needed. Any past issues should not be dug up anymore. Name calling should be avoided at all cost. With gratitude, you have to make each other feel valued. That could be done both in words and action. Taking your partner for granted and assuming things on his behalf is lethal to a relationship. Assuming should also be avoided when appreciating your partner. Just because you've thought about how thankful you are that you are with him, don't assume that he knows that. Learn to vocalize your feelings. After all, a one-night stand can turn into a relationship, but as in all other relationships, effort must be exerted.
